Chef Mathieu Ranea
Private Chef In Gustavia
I grew up in the south of France, enjoying a happy childhood immersed in Spanish and Italian cultures.
My love for cooking began when I was just six years old. I spent countless hours in the kitchen with my grandmothers and my mother, learning many traditional techniques that define the flavors in my dishes. I like to say that the essence of my cuisine is rooted in these years of cooking, smelling, and tasting, constantly improving the flavors day by day.
I am a French chef, graduated from the Paul Bocuse Institute in France, with experience working alongside some of the greatest chefs in the finest Michelin-starred restaurants:
Le Petit Nice *** - Marseille, South of France
Maison Aribert ** - Grenoble, South of France
Le Chabichou ** - Courchevel, French Alps
Château de Bagnols * - Lyon, South of France
Now, I bring my skills and passion to you as a private chef, offering exceptional service for you and your guests.
Enjoy your holidays with exquisite cuisine – I take care of everything!
